Jake Paul thinks KSI is scared

0

It wasn’t long ago that a YouTube beef a squashed with a boxing match and from the hype it got, everyone was pretty sure it won’t be the last. Ever since the first fight took place, YouTubers find it amusing to take their beef to the ring to fight it out there. With Jake Paul going back and forth with KSI on multiple occasions there is another fight due.

Jake Paul and KSI come from the same background, coming from YouTube, they tried their hands at several career options including boxing, music, and many more. Having crossed paths on multiple occasions, the duo is at a distaste of each other and their differences have to lead to a boxing match. Jake for one has been painted the villain more often than not, and his actions in the past have often tarnished his general reputation.

Jake Paul’s older brother Logan has been on the receiving end of KSI’s punches, yet Jake feels confident of beating him, essentially with lesser experience in the boxing field.

“This guy is scared of me,” “He’s legitimately scared. You can see through all of his shit. You can see through it all. This guy keeps blaming not fighting me because of COVID.” he claimed. “I don’t know what KSI is doing,” he added. “I doubt that fight is ever gonna happen. I’m just gonna be fighting these MMA, these professional fighters, and my skill level is just growing and growing. I’m not gonna go backward and fight a YouTuber who I’m just gonna kill.” added Jake.

All that is left is for KSI to respond to the taunts of Jake Paul, the best response however would be to get in the ring and bless us with a nail-biting MMA/Boxing match.

Twitch can be unkind at times, and more often than not, its the female streamers who are on the receiving end of the sexist jokes, negaoryx was the one to step up and make a comeback that put an end to it all.

negaoryx had to encounter an inappropriate situation in her last stream when a ill mannered viewer asked her about the color of her undergarments. The question forced a aggressive out of her and she revealed that such questions are nothing new to her and she is subjected to indecency quite often.

Although she would ignore and ban the person in question, but this time was a little different as the question made her cross the boiling point and she wasn’t happy with just ignorance.

“The rest of us can still joke, you can’t because you were never joking in the first place, you were just being a misogynistic, sexist piece of sh*t,” “And then, you don’t like hearing that because someone’s holding a mirror up to you and it makes you uncomfortable because you know you and you know the parts of you that are good. So in your heart, you have to come up with a narrative that makes you feel better about the fact that somebody’s asking you to confront the parts about yourself that you hate the most.”negaoryx said.

“What did you expect? Did you expect I was gonna be like, ‘Blue, why do you wanna find out? Here’s my number!’ Like, what do you think people are going to do, my dude? Like, how do you expect this going any other way than how it went,” she explained.

Given the traction this incident has garnered, no one in near future will be able to repeat this. nega speaking up helps Twitch in making their platform safer for women. And not just in Twitch, women all around the world are subjected to discrimination and sexist comments, and it is everyone’s job to give them the respect they are entitled to.

Apex Legends Season 8: Upcoming buffs and nerfs for All characters

0

As Apex Legends Season 7 comes closer to its end, developers at Respawn are gearing up for Apex Legends Season 8 update. With less than a month left from the typically season end, the developers have finally let out little insights about the upcoming changes in the Season 8 update. 

Replying to a suggestion post about Wattson’s rework over at Apex Legends’ official subreddit, senior game designer Daniel Klein gave players a little insight about the changes coming in Season 8. 

Upcoming buffs and nerfs for Apex Legends characters in Season 8

Wattson- Even after previous reworks, she is still a strong pick with a high win rate. In her case, even a slight change in abilities might tilt the balance and would have a huge impact on the character.

For her, developers are thinking about implementing some non-power ways to balance her without making her kit useless or overpowered.

Lifeline- Lifeline won’t be receiving any changes at the start of season 8 as the changes made to her need time to complete further testing before implementing.

Later in the season, her passive ability will be receiving a nerf and her ultimate will get a buff to balance out the changes and reduce some frustrations surrounding her passive.

Revenant- Earlier Respawn had no plans to make changes to Revenant, but after reviewing the hitbox changes the team believes a slight buff to the character is needed and will be working on him after season 8 goes live.

Rampart- With the season 8 update, Rampart’s Amped Walls will receive a +45 health boost while building.

This buff will make her walls tougher and increase survivability. Her walls will also receive a quality-of-life update which will relate to the “ally player paradigm” making her walls able to tank bullets other than sniper shots.

Wraith- No one would deny the fact that Wraith was somewhat overpowered before she was nerfed. While Wraith isn’t the number 1 legend anymore after rounds of nerfs, she is still a strong legend according to devs.

With the season 8 update Wraith will receive another nerf, this time to her hitboxes. Devs plans to increase the size of hitboxes on Wraith making her a little bit easier to target.

Horizon- Another strong legend that is getting nerfed in the upcoming update. According to devs, despite receiving nerfs to her Gravity Lift, Horizon has been overperforming.

Starting season 8, Horizon will receive nerfs to her mobility and hitboxes. Devs believe that going hard nerf route on mobility might nerf her too hard and a little increase in hitboxes sizes will help balance out things.

Season 8 update is due in late January or early February, till then Respawn has enough time to make some more adjustments and they might provide even more insights at a later date. 

Queuing up with hackers in Valorant ranked game? Next to get banned is you!

0

That’s true. If you’re among the ones who are queuing up with hackers in lieu of getting ranked up fast, you’ll eventually get banned, says Riot.

Riot Games will soon handout bans to all Valorant players who’re repeatedly queueing up with hackers. This, after the developers asked the community on suggestions to curb the number of hackers in game, which is actively growing as the popularity of the game surges.

The game has seen so many cheaters that lately, during a casual scrim against Dignitas Female Roster, a player named ReFlecKFPS was banned live.

Vanguard has been working though, they’ve banning dozens of thousands of cheaters every now and then. The Valorant Anti-Cheat Winter update stringently alarms the players who are casually trying to get boosted by the help of hackers, “discipline players who queue with cheaters, or as we can colloquially call it, “ride the cheat bus on the highway to hell.”

Riot Game’s Senior Anti-Cheat Analyst Matt “K3o” Paoletti in the blog post explained the concern, “We saw that some players also looked to bask in the ill-gotten gains of cheaters by teaming with them—knowing that the cheater would get banned after a few games, but they would get to reap the rewards.

“One of the first new efforts is to discipline players who queue with cheaters, or as we can colloquially call it, ‘ride the cheat bus on the highway to hell.’ Rank should be an indicator of your skill, not your ability to pay for a service,” he added.

Valorant Players Who Queue With Cheaters Will Receive 90 Day Bans

0

In a blog post released on January 27th, the developers behind Valorant have informed fans about their upcoming plans regarding the competitive shooter. These plans include a number of changes to the ranking system and Valorant’s anti-cheat, Vanguard.

While Riot has confirmed that they’re working on a number of improvements for the anti-cheat system, the change that fans are perhaps looking forward to the most is the 90-day penalty for players who get boosted by playing with cheaters.

“Analytics, data science, and technical improvements of Vanguard are all part of this battle,” Riot said in the blog. “One of the first new efforts is to discipline players who queue with cheaters, or as we can colloquially call it, ‘ride the cheat bus on the highway to hell.’”

As confirmed by the devs, Valorant will soon introduce 90-day penalties for “bussing” players who get boosted through the competitive spectrum by unfair means.

Some other highly anticipated upcoming changes include calibration changes that will “ set a cap on the highest rank you reach in placements.” The speed of players’ rank progressions till Radiant will also be reduced.

Although the graphics are toned down as compared to PUBG, this game has its own big fanbase. Free Fire has grown a lot in India and hence, you can join the hype train and try out something new.

PUBG Mobile Alternatives

Garena perfectly executes the task of adding interesting content to this game on a daily basis. Several events and collaborations with big names is regularly seen in Free Fire.

If you want to enjoy a homebred title to replace PUBG Mobile Lite, you can try FAUG. It falls under a different genre and is just launched so we might see some changes made to the game in due course of time.

COVER FIRE

Cover Fire is a first-person shooter game, where players take control of a small group of mercenaries facing off against Tetracorp, an evil mega-corporation that is occupying different areas of the planet, subjecting their people and seizing all of the precious resources.

It might not be available in the multiplayer mode but is a good pick for someone who is trying to find some entertainment and immersive experience out of the game.

1. CALL OF DUTY MOBILE –

Call of Duty: Mobile was launched on 30th September 2019 and has been gaining the traction of Indian audience since then. The core of this game is very similar to its PC counterparts and hence, it can give a touch of nostalgia to the veteran COD players.

PUBG Mobile Alternatives

The game has a multiplayer as well as a battle-royale mode. One can enjoy several modes like deathmatch and CTF on the iconic multiplayer maps from COD: Black Ops and COD: Modern Warfare. If you are still a fan of battle-royale, you can play the same mode in this game with a slight change in game mechanics. COD Mobile has two BR maps and lots of big areas to explore in it.

COD Mobile is a daring pick for someone who wants to replace it with PUBG Mobile Lite. Call of Duty is a much more complex and mechanically varied game and hence, comes with a big package size.

For those who are looking for a slightly smaller sized games can try out rest of the options but if you want to experience a much higher graphics and smoother experience, you can try COD Mobile.

These are our top five alternatives to PUBG Mobile Lite. Do give it a try and let us know if you enjoyed them or not.

Managers showed the door by Valve in new rules & regulations for Pro CSGO games

0

Valve, the developer and the host of Valve Majors has new rules for organizations participating in their events. The new regulations now bar anyone to stay with players during their live games. Only players will be allowed to be present in the cabin/gameroom while a pro match is in process.

The new rule comes in after a report of professional CSGO coaches exploiting a spectator bug rammed the scene last year.

Valve, as it is, without taking cognizance of the bug and their failure to spot it, banned all the coaches who tried to exploit it. In an unprecedented move, after ESIC’s investigation report, Valve updated the new rule.

Backlash from the community

The investigation and the subsequent conviction by Valve have been already been criticized by the masses. Therefore, today’s new regulation which prohibits the managers from game rooms will most certainly cause even more uproar against Valve.
